@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I left my heart back in the orient
Down on Bali bays
It's not the way that I should feel
But it's the way I'm going to stay
Lonely, lonely
Chasing you all round the world
Wrong way, wrong way
You took a heart, took a heart too young
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start
It seems all wrong back here at home
There's no end in sight
Should I be made to drag you through
This lovers endless fight
If only, if only
You'd take me as I am
Strong arm, strong charm
You took a heart, took a heart too young
Sometimes I think that we should stay
Happy on the farm
Sometimes I think that I'll give it all away
This love and all its charm
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start
Down on Bali bays
It's not the way that I should feel
But it's the way I'm going to stay
Lonely, lonely
Chasing you all round the world
Wrong way, wrong way
You took a heart, took a heart too young
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start
It seems all wrong back here at home
There's no end in sight
Should I be made to drag you through
This lovers endless fight
If only, if only
You'd take me as I am
Strong arm, strong charm
You took a heart, took a heart too young
Sometimes I think that we should stay
Happy on the farm
Sometimes I think that I'll give it all away
This love and all its charm
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted
Broken dreams that never really start

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The video clip is a shocker but the song is fantastic.
